Second Supplement to Torrey's New England Marriages Prior to 1700. Melinde Lutz Sanborn. (1995). While this second supplement draws extensively on periodical literature (from 1991 to January 1995), it has a much heavier emphasis on the unpublished work of some of the leading New England genealogists, studies of English marriages of colonial immigrants, and studies of immigrant clusters, most notably the Great Migration Study Project and the Mayflower Families Through Five Generations project. As was the case with the first supplement, this work contains corrections, new discoveries, significant new biographical detail, or deletions from the original Torrey canon. It is a substantially bigger book than the first supplement (50 percent longer) and has an index of more than 1,500 entries. Absolutely indispensable for New England research!
